Track WhatsApp template review status in Datadog
Keep template approvals and rejections visible in a shared operational timeline.
Trigger
Message Template Status Update
Triggered when the review status of a WhatsApp message template changes — for example approved, rejected, or flagged — on your WhatsApp Business Account.
Action
Create event
Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.
Why this helps
Template review changes can block messaging plans if nobody notices the status change.
- Make template review outcomes easier to find.
- Keep approvals, rejections, and flags in an event timeline.
- Reduce manual checking of template review status.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for template review tracking.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Datadog event for each template review status change, including available template and status context.
- 4Pick the Message Template Status Update trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real template status update and review the event.
Questions about this workflow
Does this submit or change a template?
No. It records review status changes as Datadog events; it does not manage WhatsApp templates.
Can it distinguish approvals from rejections?
Ask Notis to include the review status available in the trigger context. Test with a real update to confirm the details provided.

Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
